ENet Senior CASA: Arjoon/Fung-A-Fat into Mixed Doubles final against Cumberbatch/Prow
By Avenash Ramzan
Alex Arjoon and Mary Fung-A-Fat of Guyana will look to defend home turf on Wednesday evening when they take on Khamal Cumberbatch and Margot Prow of Barbados in the Mixed Doubles final of the ENet Senior Caribbean Squash Championship at the National Racquet Centre, Woolford Avenue, Georgetown.
Arjoon and Fung-A-Fat pulled off a 2-1 success over Jake Kelly and Caroline Laing of the Cayman Islands, a match that was highly competitive and closely fought.
The Guyanese won the opening set 11-8, but Kelly and Laing levelled things with a similar scoreline in the second set. Arjoon and Fung-A-Fat then held their composure in the third, winning 11-9 to remain in contention for the gold medal.
On the other doubles court nearby, Cumberbatch and Prow had a much easier time, topping the Jamaican pair Dane Schwier and Sanjana Nallapati in straight sets.
The Bajans emerged with an 11-10, 11-4 win, needing just 13 minutes to close out the contest.
Post-match comments
Mary Fung-A-Fat (On playing high intensity games with hours- she played the Women’s Open final on Tuesday night): “After a loss you kind of have to pick yourself back up and focus. This is teams now, I have the flag on my back and it’s a different mentality. I just put my best foot forward, made sure I recovered enough and we managed to pull through.”
Alex Arjoon (On great camaraderie with Doubles partner Fung-A-Fat): “It helps when you have a good teammate as well- Mary and I do really well together, simultaneously putting the Guyanese Chinese back on the map (lol). We’ve been friends a long time, so I think we had good chemistry. And even though we didn’t get to play a lot coming into the match, I think we were able to quickly figure out what we needed to do under pressure. So I’m excited to play tonight in the final.”
The Mixed Doubles final will serve off at 19:30h.
